Ask to Join Factory of the Dead RP-Escape from the Factory

What Did You Do To Snoke?

Previously Ratbag the Coward
This is a RP based on a lore I created myself. The lore is set below, with the forms and rules after.
It is set in a world very similar to Earth called Arcterron;

Samuel Lawson was a wise inventor and businessman who created the Lawson corparation in 2100: a company which designed powerful computers and advancing technology. On the year before Mr Lawson was about to die the company revealed the most technological computer in the world-the super computer. Lawson's son greatly developed it, creating Lawson tower as the hub of all activity.

Just before Lawson's great grandson was born, the supercomputer was finished. Lawson's grandson had programmed it before he died with memory of the original Lawson's looks and voice as they wanted to continue the legacy and inserted photos and voice records.

The great grandson of Lawson ordered more robots and machines to be put into Lawson tower. He turned Lawson tower into a factory where he would build robots which would help the public. The computer was finished at this time and was the core that operated the factory. He came up with an idea. He started creating mech suits and cyborg armour. People tried it and they liked it. However, only humans could essentially put it on and so to test it, without doing harm, he took a group of dead humans as lab rats. He found that this worked and fooled the public for 10 years. The idea was to increase the life expectancy by 100 years. It seemed to work.

Lawson soon required more dead bodies and developed mutant beasts in his lab and accidently set them on a city, destroying it and killing all the innocent people. These became lab rats themselves, trying the robotic cyborg mechs. The rest of the public were furious. As more and more of the blame came on Lawson, he started to become more and more insane. The robotic cyborg mechs now contained dead bodies.

Back at the factory, Lawson developed mutants-the dog men who were mutated dogs and the pig men, mutated pigs. He set these on the public and many humans were killed. A rebellion formed against the factory. Soon, the pigmen joined the rebellion and left the factory at night. The leader of the pigmen promised to destroy the factory. They planned out an attack of the factory. However, the humans did not join them, meaning that the pigmen delayed their attack.

At this time, Lawson gave the core computer the chance to control the factory but the core went out of control, sending the billions of zombie cyborgs, now named the zombots, to attack the human cities and towns and villages. Billions were infected with a zombie virus found on the zombot armours. The zombie virus affected all humans wearing the mech suits and cyborg armours and they all died. They were soon all converted into zombots and other undead creatures.

Lawson quarrelled with the core but the core killed Lawson using a lightning beam. Lawson found himself trapped in the core. The core renamed itself Lawson. Meanwhile, the remaining human cities and towns gathered to form an alliance. The core announced it's intention of creating something it called'Lawson magic.'

The rebels and forces of Lawson all went into battle one day and gained a nuclear bomb from a human city. The alliance stormed the factory, killing many zombots and others. Unfortunately, the nuclear bomb was not stopped from being dropped, whipping out the vast majority of human cities, towns and settlements. Some of the human cities that had been destroyed still had people alive, but these got mutated due to the radiation and they became known as the twisted, vowing to stop the controller core known as Lawson.

The forests and jungles became deserts, however, the were a few remaining forests and jungles, in which mutated tree people and tree monsters emerged. The radiation had affected the trees!

In the human cities remaining, technology decreased, meaning the current technology was back to how it was many centuries ago. All that were left were a few machine gunners and swordsman shields and bows and arrows had to be used for the others. Catapults had to be used too.

A race of green skinned humans lived nearby to the factory and joined the alliance soon. They were named the Harge and were humans that Lawson had illegally tested on. Their entire city had mutated and gone missing until now.

The Snarkagra are a race of blue skinned scaly lizard humanoids who were formed from the mutations of the bomb. They live in tribes in the deserts.

The twisted and the tree people closely allied the new alliance of humans. Lawson had converted all the graveyards into his army, which was now just the dead equipped with armour and guns, and mined dark magic, an energy, originally from Dark Matter which fuelled his army. Two magicians used them, the necromancer and the dark Mage. These events all took place before the year 2800.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow… I have no words. This roleplay is amazing.

Name: Was never formally given a name due to being considered an expendable tool, but has taken to being called "Ace" to any who care. (Or just "Dog". That works too.)
Age: ~22 in dog years. In human years, this is pathetic. (Unless they age in human years, in which case I can't make this joke.)
Gender: Female; sometimes presents herself using anderogenous pronouns to maintain a sense of anonymity.
Race: Houndtrekker
Personality: Ace is relatively cold and cagey, and has serious trust issues. She is prone to snapping back with sarcastic remarks and being sour-demeanoured in general. However, if she is able to fully trust someone, she will remain loyal until their (or her) last breath.
Weapons and gear: As of now she only carries her remaining Lawson Brand Laser-Edged Sword™ (the laser portion is finicky. Most of the time, she can't get it to work and it's just a sword). However, she knows the lab's arsenal fairly well and will use different weapons in the future.
Appearance*: Ace is more doglike than humanoid in appearance, sporting a canine face and tail, digitigrade legs with paws, and fur coating from head to toe; essentially appearing like an upright wolf. The only thing remotely humanoid on her is her statue, which is an upright, humanoid stance. Of course, like any civilized sentient being, she wears clothes, donning a tattered uniform for Lawson that has been stained grey with time.
Backstory: Ace was one of the many Houndtrekker soldiers deployed by Lawson to decimate the human race. Each were "gifted" natural weapons (teeth and claws) as well as artificial ones and simply told to attack. While Ace was far from being the… well… ace of the group, the LK9-217 squadron had a nasty habit of playing blackjack in their spare time; thus the four individuals being dubbed the names of cards and suits. The others were the King of Clubs, Queen of Diamonds, and Jack of Hearts respectively, gaining the title through their demeanors. Ace, however, was nicknamed such after trying a ruse with an Ace of Spades. It didn't end well, and the name stuck, chanted through the villages along with the others as they burnt to the ground.
After the zombots broke loose and began to plague the land, the group separated. Deviating from the others, Ace hung out near the lab, occasionally using her relatively outdated ID card to break in and steal supplies. However, in a recent unfortunate event, the houndtrekker couldn't get out. Now stuck inside the lab with nothing but a busted sword, Ace has the same goal in mind as everyone else: survive.
* I feel obligated to describe this because there's so many ways people view dog-people.

Oh this good...accepted!

And by the way, the Houndtrekkers are bipedal, meaning they walk on their hind/back legs. This is the same case for the Pigmen/Hogari..

I am dastardly in love with this concept. It reminds me a lot of the video for Runnin' Across The Tracks by Billy Talent, which is sick as frick. I hardly think I'm literal enough for this, but I'll give it a shot.

Name: Atticus Knox
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: The Rebel Humans
Personality: Intuitive, enthusiastic, and innovative. Although an avid fan of Lawson's work and views his creations as ingenious, he does not support his and his company's ideals. Atticus despises conformity and belonging to any one group, boasting himself as a "lone ranger" whom develops his own technology and scavenges for himself. He only helps those he'll benefit from as a solemn rule (On multiple occasions, he's taken injured strangers he's found on his journeys into his house and tended to their wounds accordingly before stripping them of all their valuables), but isn't cruel as a person. Atticus is a voracious mechanic whom almost seems to prefer machines over people and sometimes comes off as shrewd in the sheer dedication he holds for his work. He forgets things easily and is very often lost in his own head.
Weapons and Gear: Primarily, he wields a mace of which generates its own electricity for the purpose of dilapidating enemies before bludgeoning them. A death code stored in a compartment hidden within the mace's heel allows him to recode various functioning machines. Secondarily is a divisive, pistol-esque gun with a streamlined barrel of which he refers to as the "Cataclysm." The gun is extremely unstable and only contains three bullets, but can easily ward off enemies with a single stroke. Its bullets, when heated by the gun's conversion chamber, are propelled from its barrel. The highly reactive chemicals inside these bullets to expand rapidly and explode into a shower of flames.
Appearance: A long, narrow face with high cheekbones and sunken eyes. His skin is a pasty white and blemished with an assortment of burn and atrophic scars. His eyes, his most prominent figure, are a near unnatural shade of navy blue. Upon his head sits unruly charcoal hair, covered by a grey trilby. He wears a pair of goggles whose lenses are a pale orange, though they're mostly seen resting on his hat's rim when not in use. Clothing his ectomorphic figure is a white dress shirt, along with tan slacks and formal boots with an added utility belt for his wanderings.
